FISHING REPORT - 25/8/2015

LESLIE DAM: Anglers at Leslie Dam had reasonable success over the weekend.  The bait anglers managed to land some quality fish on shrimps and saltwater yabbies.  There were some nice Golden Perch landed in the main basin, in approximately 30 feet of water.  There were a few fish landed by anglers trolling hard body lures along the Washpool bank.  Ecogear ZX Blades and Jackall Genes accounted for some nice fish in various spots around the dam.

CONNOLLY DAM: Connolly Dam remains much the same as previous weeks, with reports of several Golden Perch and Silver Perch being landed over the weekend.  Bait anglers are having more success that the lure anglers at the moment.  This will change as the weather warms up.

COOLMUNDA DAM: There was some quality Golden Perch and Murray Cod landed over the past week.  Unfortunately you just had to be in the right spot at the right time.  Some anglers reported on landing in excess of 30 fish, while other couldn’t even raise a bite.  There was some quality Golden Perch, some measuring up to 55cm in length, on blades and mask vibes.  We also receive reports of Murray Cod being landed up to a metre in length.

RIVERS AND CREEKS: The local river systems are improving, with some quality Golden Perch being landed in and around the town area.  Anglers fishing downstream of the Wallace Street Bridge have been landing some nice Golden Perch on bait.  Killarney, Murray Bridge and Pratten areas are also fishing quite well.  We received reports of two legal sized Murray Cod being landed during the week on spinnerbaits.

PRODUCT REVIEW

Imakatsu Aventa Crawler

Special Crawler Bait for super dead-slow retrieving. The biggest feature of Aventa Crawler is the ability to maintain its action for a long time with a super slow retrieve.  The big profile and slow action imitates a drowning animal perfectly. Aventa Crawler is good at switching on the instinct of big Murray Cod the have strong territorial aggression, and making them attack by intimidation. If you retrieve in same course many times, Aventa Crawler drives big Cod mad will draw a bite from the most stubborn fish!

• Big Wings made by duralumin. The wings catch water easily enabling a good action on a super slow retrieve.

 

• The body design of Aventa Crawler keeps it in a horizontal position with its tail down whilst retrieving. This places the rear hook deeper in the water for positive hook ups.

 

• The improved wing design creates a louder metallic sound and excellent durability.
